Topic #3

Light Therapy Wand (trends)

Light therapy wands are handheld devices that emit light of a specific wavelength to enhance the appearance of the skin.

These wands typically use LED technology to produce the light.

Light therapy wands are believed to help improve the appearance of the skin by stimulating collagen production, reducing inflammation, and promoting cell turnover.

Here are a few examples of trending face care tech products:

Microcurrent facial devices are beauty tools that send electrical currents to facial muscles and skin cells. These currents strengthen face muscles, which tightens the skin and smoothes lines.

Electric gua sha facial massagers use heat and vibration to reduce skin tension and minimize wrinkles.

LED face masks are devices that use LEDs to emit different wavelengths of light onto the face.

Topic #4

Networking-as-a-Service (trends)

Networking as a Service (NaaS) is a cloud-based service model that provides businesses with on-demand access to network resources such as virtual routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, and other networking components.

In short, NaaS is a way to outsource the management and deployment of network infrastructure. This allows businesses to focus on core competencies rather than worrying about maintaining and updating their networking equipment.

NaaS also helps organizations access networking capabilities without having to invest in physical hardware and, instead, pay for the services they use on a subscription basis.

Compared to building in-house networking infrastructure, NaaS offers several benefits, such as scalability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and reduced complexity.

NaaS will likely become more mainstream, considering that the market for these services is forecasted to grow 8x in the next six years.

What's Next

Networking-as-a-Service is part of the ITOps meta trend.

IT Operations (ITOps) is a set of activities and processes involved in managing and maintaining an organization's IT infrastructure, including hardware, software, networks, and applications.

For example, surveys have shown that four in five organizations are overspending on their cloud solutions.

And ITOps is emerging as a way to decrease these costs through better acquisition and maintenance practices.
